[Tutor] SYS Long File Names?
Hi! I was looking at the sys.argv(1) file name and it is the short 8 char name. How do you place it into the long file name format? I was reading music files and comparing the name to the directory listing and always comes back as not found because the name was shortened. So, how do you get it to read long file names?

[Tutor] Sorting Dictionary Keys
Jim,
OK, use the example below for sorting dictionary keys and placing them in a
list. Note that an error will happen if the format on the print statement
does not correspond to the type of sort.
#THIS SORTS A DICTIONARY BY USING SET THEORY AND DIC ITEMS!
import random
dic = {}
print "Randomizing!"
for i in range(20):
dic[ random.randrange(100)] = random.randrange(100, 1000)
print "Dic:"
j=0
list=[]
for k,i in dic.items():
print "K=%d I=%d" % (k,i)
list.append("K=%d I=%d" % (k,i))
j+=1
j=0
print "Sorted Dic By Set:"
print "Num: Old, Sorted"
for k in sorted(set(dic)):
print "(%d) %s | K=%d I=%d" % (j+1, list[j], k,dic[k])
j+=1
j=0
print "Sorted Dic By Items:"
print "Num: Old, Sorted"
for k,i in sorted(dic.items()):
print "(%d) %s | K=%d I=%d" % (j+1, list[j], k,i)
j+=1

I suspect this is a brain-dead question...
Given the following code, output is as expected:
$ cat test.py
d = { 'a' : 1, 'd' : 2, 'b' : 3, 'c' : 0 }
for i in d.keys():
print "%s\t%s" % (i, d[i])
$ python test.py
a 1
c 0
b 3
d 2
$
But if the keys are sorted, I get an error:
$ cat test1.py
d = { 'a' : 1, 'd' : 2, 'b' : 3, 'c' : 0 }
for i in d.keys().sort():
print "%s\t%s" % (i, d[i])
$ python test1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 3, in
for i in d.keys().sort():
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
$
What is the correct manner to iterate through sorted dictionary keys?
Thanks.

[Tutor] Pythoncom Tutorial
Hi! I noticed that when wanting to learn Pythoncom there is no real good accessible tutorial for it. Does anyone know where a good structured tutorial exists for the Com utilities so I can write my own screen reader program? When trying to understand all the needed variables and such for the windows commands and variables it gets confusing. I want to learn how to get the objects and its methods so I can use a python program to read and verbalize the objects as you focus on them and such. The only explanations I found either have the descriptions scattered and no examples or structure on how to use any of the com stuff. How to use the Makepy and when not to use it. How to get the objects and its list of methods to be able to work with it for screen reading purposes. Thanks in advance.

[Tutor] If You Wish Microsoft Voices For Your Programming
Hi! Below is the settings to use the built in SAPI 5 voices. It will also read any other voices loaded into the SAPI 5 and stores the list of all of them. You can change the names of the methods if you so desire. I am giving you an example of how to set up your voices. NOTE: The pitch of the voices has to be an XML command and it is built into the speech or Speak method. You will need to understand the XML commands if you wish to use the added XML features.

[Tutor] Using SAPI 5 Voices and Methods
Hi!
I am resending this SAPI examples for speech, I guess in some cases the
email message gets messed up so I attached the
SAPI 5 test for voices along with an HTML version using Java Script. It also
has the methods and a voice by name assignment since the voices are an array
list by element. So I use the description to find the name. It also lists
the voice names in the console field.
I guess you could also use the pyTTS version as well. I did have one
problem and that was the isfilename flag seems to get an error. But, also my
spell tag did not work on my tower computer, but did work on my Lap Top. Do
not know why, but it could be a version issue. Yet the isfilename also does
not work on the Lap Top, so who knows.
Anyway, have fun and install if for either your games or web pages...

Re: [Tutor] Using SAPI 5 Voices and Methods
As a note to this message post: the error I was getting for both the spell and the isfilename was traced down to simple factors. One problem is finding clear explanations and then checking the erroor codes. I found both on the issues mentioned about the SAPI 5 issues. The test I was running and encountered an error with the spell command came from using 2 different type voice packages as one. What I am saying is that I had the 3 Microsoft voices Sam, Mike, and Mary loaded in with 6 eSpeak voices and the error came when I did a test using the eSpeak voice. Once I used the Microsoft voice the error went away. The error I traced to being a unsupported operator type in the ctypes error list: WorkflowConditionOperatorNotSupported -2147201006 "Condition operator not supported for specified type." Error List: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc151248.aspx The other error came from the open file command, which when using XML commands it is an Internet, Navigator error. When trying to understand the commands and the formats I could not truely understand what was being said, so I thought it could read a text.txt file but it does not. The isfilename comand is for reading a .wav file only. So I got rid of an flags except the isfilename flag, or 4 on the list and it worked. It will also work for sync or async, but you have to understand what each flat means and what it blocks. So this is the error description when using a wrong file type in the sapi XML ISFILENAME flag: List Of Error Codes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa768365(VS.85).aspx NavigateError Event Status Codes This page lists the possible values for the StatusCode parameter of the DWebBrowserEvents2::NavigateError -2146697203 INET_E_UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL (0x800C000DL or -2146697203) There a lot of error codes on both lists and you just have to search the code number you wish to find.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Kent
Kent,
This is what I got from the Microsoft SAPI web site. They have only code
for C and VB and below is the VB version. I am trying to figure out where
the stram gets assigned to the speak method for SAPI so a file can be saved.
The following code illustrates how to speak a text file in a specific voice
in Visual
Basic. This example assumes a text file (ttstemp.txt) containing the text to
be spoken
already exists. ISpeechVoice.SpeakStream is used here to speak an
SpFileStream that
has been bound to the file.
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileStream As New SpFileStream
Dim Voice As SpVoice
'Create SAPI voice
Set Voice = New SpVoice
'Assume that ttstemp.txt exists
FileName = "c:\ttstemp.txt"
'Open the text file
FileStream.Open FileName, SSFMOpenForRead, True
'Select Microsoft Sam voice
Set Voice.voice = voice.GetVoices("Name=Microsoft Sam",
"Language=409").Item(0)
'Speak the file stream
Voice.SpeakStream FileStream
'Close the Stream
FileStream.Close
'Release the objects
Set FileStream = Nothing
Set Voice = Nothing
So, in this example it assigns a file stream to the file opened then
connects to the SAPI Speak method to save it. But when I do that like they
did above I get only the data spoken and the file with 0 bytes in it.
I have tried looking everywhere for the file stream connection and can
not seem to find the method to do so.

Alan,
This is what I wrote in python. The onlyu thing I did not do is a
declaration of a filestream as the VB example does. I get no errors, just
the Speak method just speaks. The saved file has no data, 0 Bytes.
Now the note they mentioned was the True flag and I inserted that.

Snip
I have no idea what you mean by this.
Where are you looking? This is a COM object which is in the MS
library.
You will need to access it via PythonWin or ctypes or a Python
wrapper of some sort. But the fact you are getting it to speak
suggests
you have succeeded in that already.
I'm confused about why you think it should be saving anything?

Hi Alan,
I did a search and I think it was about the 30'th search or more and
finally came out with the exact code. Interesting enough it was on the win32
site and a person did not want to use the working code for something more
like I was originally searching for, but it works.
Below is the method I placed it into. I use the same Create function but
the added feature is the lib and it was inside the Create assignment itself.
You were correct in it needed to be in the com stuff. I do not know all that
I need to know about this for there is so much to search and read to tie it
all together. So I do it one piece at a time. I also used the same naming
convention as the built in Speak method and I did not have to use C code to
get it runnhing, instead used the same imports I already had.
I attached the complete speech class module I am developing and the
methods I am using at the moment.
Here is the method:
from comtypes.client import CreateObject #NEEDED IF THIS METHOD IS A STAND
ALONE!

[Tutor] A SAPI Module With Pitch and Create
Hi! I have reduced down and added a few features into the SAPI 5 speech module I have created. You can now save and read wav files. The test module tests most of the features I have in it at the moment. I added the ability inside the Create method to set all the voice parameters. You can change the voice, volume, rate, and pitch in the Create method. They are dict values and just assign the values you want. Pitch and rate are from -10 to 10 with 0 the norm. Where the volume is from 0% to 100% but do not use the (%) symbol, just the integer number. The default for change is 0 for any of the values and the default voice will be the first on the list, which is Sam if you are using the Microsoft SAPI 5 voices. The names are listed in the test. So assignment depends on what you have installed onto your machine. I have not changed any usage of eSpeak voices to allow pitch adjustment yet. An error comes up for those voices because I have not looked into what it wants. This SAPI 5 engine will at least allow you to get started and includes the methods saving and reading a wav file. The wav methods are .SpeakToWav and SpeakFromWav so you could use it for other possible things, such as web sites and games. Enjoy testing it. I have not played with the bookmark method yet.

Re: [Tutor] addressbook program
Hi Alan,
You said:
> #DO TEXT INPUT WITH ENTRY ON NEXT LINE!
> def text_Input(prompt):
> print prompt
> return (raw_input(">> "))
Just use:
raw_input(prompt + "\n>> " )
Yes, that is OK if you are sighted, for the screen reader program does
not say the message in the prompt unless there is some kind of a change in
the screen.
I have to place it there for only a sightless programmer. Maybe once in
a while it would say it, but that is if the key stroke is fast and the kill
speech is quick. Like the purge command inside the example, when that is set
for all key strokes in a screen reader, it can erase any saying of text
displayed fast onto the screen, just a timing issue between keyboard and
screen reader capture.
So, my example is just accommodating that.
The other examples are true, I sent it without making the needed
changes. Probably too many try statements only because I wrote an input for
my Trek program that entered values of a given type and kind of left it
there if the wrong type is entered. Which brings up the other dictionary
list of keys. Just left it there when sending the example to fast. Just like
the last method which uses pygame, but it is never called and would fail
since I did not import pygame.
So, sending an outdated example is not good, but does lead to showing
the correct sample in a tutorial when you point out errors or sloppy work.
Thanks, Bruce

[Tutor] Mixer and Busy Flag Never Working?
A Question:
Has anyone ever played with Pygame and the sound mixer? If so, has
anyone ever had the busy flag, and the problem below ever work?
Subject: Re: [pygame] Mixer Quit / Restart
This appears to get the total number of channels, not the number of active
channels. However, I tried using get_busy(), but it still does not seem to
work.
See the following modifications to my original code:
import pygame, time
for x in range(10):
print("Starting iteration " + str(x))
print("Initializing mixer")
pygame.mixer.init()
print("Loading sound")
sound = pygame.mixer.Sound("foo.wav")
print("Finding free channel")
channel = pygame.mixer.find_channel()
print("Channel object: " + str(channel))
print("Setting volume")
channel.set_volume(0.7)
print("Playing sound")
channel.play(sound)
print("Sleeping until sound is finished playing...")
while pygame.mixer.get_busy():
time.sleep(1)
print("Quitting mixer\n\n")
pygame.mixer.quit()
This displays the same behaviour.
In response to a previous comment about using channel.stop() before quitting
the mixer: this does not work either, as can be seen by adding
channel.stop() after the get_busy loop above.
Has anyone tried running this code themselves? I am wondering if I am
experiencing some obscure bug, possibly platform specific. I am running on
OS X, but don't have access to other systems for troubleshooting. If
someone else has access to a Windows or Linux box, and is able to prove if
this fails on those systems as well, that may be useful.
Cheers

[Tutor] Voice Text To Speech and Wav File Make and Save
Hi!
I got my text to speech to work better, will in the future remove the
buttons and only have the file menu.
It seems to work fine and now use sub menu's for voice settings.
What will be needed as an event to capture the cursor movement inside
the text box. How do I get the key and cursor events so I can speak when
doing ctrl cursor or up/down cursor events to say lines, words, and letters?
I have tried getting the key event but gets ignored, so I need the
proper kind and location to catch the text box key events. I erased my test,
but below and attached are the complete setup.

Re: [Tutor] New to pythong
Hi! Yes, Mark had something to say, and so did Alan. Games are a good start, also a home need, or a business need. The way I started Python was games. The Yhatzee game, then my Star Trek game, converted over from the original basic game. Then the battleship game, the board game, which required people to call out grid places to see if a ship was hit... Since I am visually impaired, and sounds are all I need, then the first games are all sound effects and voices. Then the need for a sighted person to understand, then the visual, buttons and menu's come in. Then the rest is your imagination. For when learning each level of python a new need arises. I solved the event issue I raised last by playing with the details of events, understanding what is needed, and reading the formats and playing with them to see the results. Many commands, just select which works best. For when writing python programs you must understand the dictionary and list formats. They come in handy. As does the list comprehension idea and it's format. Many things to try and do. Just have to come up with a need, or fun. The rest of the imagination is yours. Just remember that at first the program is large, bulky, then once other formats and commands are learned, the program gets smaller, then larger to fit more options, then smaller... Think of a game to play and then expand on it. Bruce Thanks for the info on the Think Python book, and thanks Jeremiah, for posing this question. That book is one of the best Python learning resources I've yet found! Makes it really easy to understand!

Unless you learn best under external discipline, in which case I suggest you take a class... My advice to all potential Pythonistas who want to learn on their own: think of a problem you need to solve, or a cool game you've wanted to implement, or a tool you want but don't have. In my own case, I had a project I needed to do (printing mailing labels from records in an old proprietary database) that was going to suck if I used only the tools I already had. I'd been wanting to get into Python, and I decided to use Python to do the job and learn as I went. It was WONDERFUL, and I've been in love with Python ever since. (Yes, I've used it for fun stuff since then, but my first experience was of Python saving me hours and hours of pain.) If you don't have a professional task that you could apply Python to, just look around your environment for a day or so looking for problems to solve. (My favorite example of this, although it's a very silly program and written in JavaScript besides, is Roast Beef's "Eggs and Milk Minder" from Achewood.) Just my €0.0075... ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] New to pythong
Hello everybody:
I am new to this mailing list, and it said that i could the simplest of
questions. So i was wondering if anyone could be so kind as to e-mail me a
project idea or something to go out an learn to do in python. I don't know any
languages, but i am definitely not computer illiterate. i have read so many
tutorial about getting started but so far that is where the tutorial have left
me ( how to print "Hello World") and such.
Any ideas great thanks.
Hi!
Someone posted the description on how to fid and list files. This is one
you could look at, study, and then expand on it. I added the file search as
well.
In each module you can expand and do much more with it, but when dealing
with files and directories you must remember that you can erase a lot of stuff
if you're not careful.
Enjoy, Bruce

[Tutor] Text Editor With Speech
Hi!
I am coming closer to the talking editor and voice adjustments inside my
editor/talking module.
When reading the events over and over again I am slowly understanding
who wants what. Inside an editor there are key commands that do certain
things and I try to give some voice to them.
Below I do not use the OnKey function yet, but will erase the comments
and such and only have a say key inside with a toggle on/off for key typing.
Before this was the only event call with keys, now it is only for say key
pressed in the future.
At the moment I use the KEY_UP event to look at what was done by the
editor after the key is released. This allows no need for location
calculations since the move has been made and the final position in most
cases has been done.
So, I moved the values for all line parms over to the OnKey_Up function
so I know where the pointer is at.
I do a word forward and back inside of this function so the word forward
and back are pronounced.
You may replace the speech engine with the pyTTS if you so desire. But I
have not added the method for pitch to there module, so the pitch adjustment
would not work.
I mention this because I have not done a dictionary for the engine, so
some things get pronounced a little different. Like AM for the time does not
come out as A.M. nor am, but likes to take the m out for something else.
Little things like that.
Anyway, this is the latest using events and have removed the button
list. I left the textctrl control methods in the 2 function calls for future
usage and reference.
Enjoy.
Bruce

Subject: [Tutor] How to populate a dictionary
Hello, I am taking python this summer, and have run into a problem.
The assignment is to create a dictionary from a text file:
"12/07/0526 = St Felix IV begins his reign as Catholic Pope"
"12/07/1109 = Crusaders capture Syria's harbor city of Tripoli"
"12/07/1191 = Richard Coeur de Lion and Crusaders defeat Saracens in Palestine"
"12/07/1290 = Jews are expelled from England by order of King Edward I"
"12/07/1442 = King Alfonso V of Arag¢n becomes king of Naples"
"Create a dictionary of dates. Each date you have in there should have a
special event. An example would be that the dictionary would contain the
following
NOTE: You must have at least 100 different dates. You can get this from lists
on the internet if you like, but it must be something real, not just garbage or
something just made up.
12/28/1929: My Birthday
1/1/1948: New Years Day 48
9/11: the big one
Your program should start by creating an empty dictionary called dates. Then
your program will get an array of ALL the keys for that dictionary and then
write a loop that will display all the key/value pairs.
BUT: The dictionary setup file should exist OUTSIDE of the program, you should
have lines in it that say something like "12/28/1948=Starting Day" or something
like that. Your strategy will be to open that file, read it, split it into
lines, then for each line, you will split that line by the equals = sign. The
left side value is the Key and the Right Hand Side is the value.
You will read this whole files, splitting each key/value pair and store them in
a dictionary. Then write the loop which will get all the keys, SORT those keys
and print out the key/value pairs.
here is a sample of my code:
#!python
myDictionary = { }
inputLines = open ("dates.txt") .read() .split ("\n")
for i in range ( len(inputLines) ) :
if (inputLines [i] != "") :
leftHandSide = inputLines [i].split ("=")
rightHandSide = inputLines [i].split ("=")
myDictionary [leftHandSide] = rightHandSide
theKeys = myDictionary.keys ()
theKeys.sort ()
for i in range (len (theKeys) ):
print theKeys[i], myDictionary[ theKeys[i] ]
Can anyone help?

[Tutor] Writing Python Script to read battery level
Allan, Is there a way to read the battery level using Python? I am totally blind and want to write a script to capture the battery level and send it through the voice activeX so I can speak it...

[Tutor] Battery Level Monitoring and Voice
Hello everyone,
Since I got a simple answer on the Python Win32 web site I decided to post
it here for those who would want that information, especially those who can not
see.
The first 2 lines are all that is needed along with the battery level
instances using that object,
( BatteryPercentage = wmi.InstancesOf('win32_battery'))
This program uses the computer voices and will list them if the specified
one is not found. In this case I used Karen. When the list is displayed you do
not need to insert everything in the name, just the obvious part of the name,
like Karen. Just make sure you spell it correctly or you will always get the
list printed on the screen.
this also will sound off every minute because of the sleep amounts I use.
It can also be changed to voice the percentage every percent change, just do
what you want to do.
